Off For the Pen.

Thomas Kirby plead guilty last even
ing to three.count indictment charg-
ing unlawful cohabitation. Time of
sentence was waived and in reply to the
question as to whether he had anything
to say, Mr.. Kirby replied that he had
married his wives about twenty years
ago. He could not violate his conscience
by promising to obey the law. Sen
tence was fixed at six months and $100.
A. Chadwick, convicted of the same
ofenSe, was sentenced to a tine of $500
and six months on the first count.
|. n. G. Mortensen, who was similarly
convicted and declining. to avail him
self of the leniency of the court re-
ceived a similar sentence.
JOHN MARRIOTT, having plead guilty
was calieL up. He said according to the
laws he had no wife and would like to
have the court tell him which woman
he should live with when he came out
of the Pen.
The court informed him that it could
not enlighten him on the point, as the
state was too 20 aplicated. De-
PENDANT said he dd not want to
be caught in trap when he
was released. The court suggested that
the avenue of escape was open, but Mr..
Marriott was not inclined to make any
promises and got the usual six months
and 500.
The case of Mr.. Parry was next called,
ana Mr.. Kim oall stated to the court
that Mr.. Parry had requested him to
make statement OF facts in relation to
the case of Mrs. susan Parry. At the
time OF the lady going before the grand
jury Mr.. Parry was out of the county
and did not advise her to give false
testimony before the grand jury; he did
not believe either that any other person
had done so and further, from the state
ment of facts made by Mrs. Parry, he
firmly believed that she was innocent OF
any criminal intent and that she was
not wilfuily guilty of perjury.
The court said rather peculiar state
OF facts existed in this case. He then
reCited the circumstances of the case
and sid that there was a prac-
tlte of con. hitting perjury IN
the courts, both IN civil and
criminal prosecutions, in this Territory
and he felt that something should be
done TO slgnallze the conviction of a
person of that offense. He made the
offer he did to the lady, in view Of thes
facts. Mr.. Parry would not promise
and was sentenced to six months and
$500.
The Bergen polygamy case was then
called and continued until the 18th OF
February,
Charles Franks, of Logan, had
plead guilty to a two count indictment
for unlawful cohabitatiOn. He could
promise nothing and was given six
months and 500.

stated that he had made a motion to
dismiss the case of forgery against
Frank Hickey, but as some of the lur ors
were opposed the case was still on the
taps. Hickey was brought up from the
Penitentiary and admitted to bail.
A CONTRAST has just been signed for
the building of $40 900 business block,
on Fifth Street, next to the Broom
Hotel. The building will be 42xS5 feet,

THE petit ju ors were discharged from
service, Yesterday, until the 7th of Feb
ruary. The Court entered an order
that the jurors be paid off, one-half in
territorial scrip, the other half in cash,
the latter to be charged to the account
of Uncle Sam. This is slight improve
ment upon all scrip. but falls short of
adequate compensation for the men
who are compelled to leave their work
and come to the city, spen ding their
time, and paying money for hotel bills.

HORRIBLE /!
A Newborn Infant Found Dead
on the Sidewalk.

Yesterday morning, between 9 and 10
o'clock, son of Mr.. Flygare, who re-
sides OF The west side of Lester Park
Square, saw his dog dragging an OBJ
ject toward him from across the street.
Upon coming up to the boy the dog,
dropped the burden, which proved to
be a newly-born infant, at his masters
feet. Word was conveyed to the City
Marshal, who Immediately repaired to
the place, and took the body of the child
TO the City Hall.
Returning to the scene, the dog
which had found the body of the dead
infant, was taken to Lester Park
Square and turned loose, when the
animal Immediately went to a spot
about five or six rods north OF the north
fence and about one rod from the west
side of the park, where it was discovered
that there was hole scOoped out In
the earth from which the brute had
evidently dragged the body OF the in
FAINT. The place also bore evidences OF
the mother of the child having given
birth to it on or near the place where
~ was 81 OuIAON' OOAtN "a OASASS
of female apparel were found lying near
by, while the ground around the place
looked as though person had lain and
struggled. On the earth that was taken
from the hole was the track of woman
wearing about No. shoe. The track
was probably that of a person who had
assisted the mother of the child in the
horrible affair. The child was female,
and according to the autopsy which
was conducted by DR.. Condor, was of
mature birth. 1t bore marks of VIC
lence, the skull being fractured and the
breast apparently being cut with a
knife over the right lung and also ovei
the heart, while the right foot was mis-
sing, being cut off about half way be-
tween the ankle and knee. The body
had presumably been in the hole for
several days.
A jury consisting of Joseph Hall, J.
NJ. Brown and w. G. Chapple was en-
paneled and after the taking of the
testimony of two witnesses, Marshal
Ballantyne and young Flygare, the
case was continued till Monday at 2
o'clock. The affair caused much COM
ment on the street and was the subject
of conversation in many quarters. The
affair is shrowded in mystery as to who
we're the perpetrators of the cruel and
inhuman deed.

ON BATHING.
Some Important Suggestions For
This Branch of the Toilet.

We "take cold" through the skin, it
should be remembered, says writer in
the New Orleans Picayune, as we also
breathe through it, throwing off the
superhuous heat-which becomes fever
when the perspiration is suppressed
and also sending off waste products.
Persons who have any tendency to pull
monary disease should make their skin
active. A double handful of common
salt thrown into the bathing water after
the cleaning process has been performed
is beneficial addition. The saline par
ticles are very penetrating, and no
amount of rubbing will remove them
from the skin, upon which they exert
most useful, though a gentle, stimulat-
ing influence, especially salutary in
cases of sluggish liver. Not only does
this act locally on the skin, increasing
its secretions, but also quickens the pro-
cesses of nutrition in all the tissues of
the body. Thum bless mittens of ordi-
nary Turkish towing are as good as the
more costly sponges for the luxury OF
the daily rub bath" A large Turkish
towel, rung out in either tepid or cold
water, will e1pediate the bathing pro-
cess; and by all means provide goodly-
sized towel for the dry rub afterwards.
Turkish towels that come the size of
crib sheets are most useful for this, and
the luxury of keeping two linen bath
sheets in daily use is known to the
initiated few. After either cold or a
warm sponge bath the immediate cover
ing of the whole body in large wrap
of linen or the soft tufted cotton gives
the sensation of luxury that some peo-
pie never have.

HENRY M. STANLEY.


LONDON, July ga dispatch from St.
Thomas West Africa, says: The West
African company. has received a report
that Henry NJ Stanley the African ex-
plorer had been shot dead by the natives
with whom his expedition was fighting in
order to obtain supplies. Another ac-
count says that the steamer on which
Stanley was proceeding to the relief Of
Emin Bey was sunk and the explorer
was drowned. The report Of Stanley's
death emanates from O missionary at
Matadi who received 1t from a native
from up the country. No direct message
has been received from the expedition.
The rumor regarding the death of ii.
NJ Stanley is utterly discredited here.
The latest authentic news from him was
from Aruwimi, and was sent under date
of June 2. 1t would be impossible for a
native to reach Matadi and then. st.
Thomas since that time as the distance
between Matid and Aruwimi alone is a
thousand miles through the toughest
country.
King Leopold. of Belgium, telegraphs
that he has no advices that Stanley is in
trouble. :

of State for the Colonies said that the
government had no information concern

Matson took McGargle to his residence,

to enter the bath room and close the door.
In n few moments the sheriff called for
the prisoner, but the bird had flown.
